> Hi there,
> just dropping in to say hello and talking a bit about my knee replacement. I
had it done about 5 weeks back. And Im making a recovery. My replacement is a
little different as it was done due to birth defects in both my knees. And my
bones are very soft in both legs too. Which has made it a bit harder for me to
mobilise. But for anyone who needs to have it done. This is what I will say
about it. I dont regret having it done, I had to, I had no choice. And I am
going to have the right one done in several months also. But it does hurt after
for a while. And nobody actually told me the truth on that one. Which personally
I dont like. I much prefer people to tell it as it is.

> I kept getting everyone saying to me that its a standard procedure and I know
that it is. But you get the impression by those words that cos its a standard
procedure, its not going to hurt so much and especially as they do mobilise you
after only 2 days and thats okay too. But there is some pay when you leave
hospital and my advice to anyone who is going to have it done in the future, is
to make sure that you have adequate pain control on leaving hospital. That way
you can mobilise and you wont feel so sore. That is what I shall do next time
when I have my right one done. I know what to expect now and Im ready for the
next one, soon as the doc gives me the go ahead. I know have a metal knee :-)
and an ileostomy..oh what a lucky girly I am lol.

> The other thing is... is that I shall beep going though the airport and dont
get me wrong. I dont mind setting the machine off, but then I have to be
searched and then I have my bag also. So Im a bit anxious about that. I have a
certificate for my stoma and now I have another card to say Ive had a knee
replacement. lol..I dunno....

> Oh well. I am much much better now than what I was, and Im coming forward in
leaps and bounds. Does anyone know what would strengthen bones? my bones are
soft from birth and its going to cause me problems if I cant get them to harden
up. Any tips advise or any thoughts on this subject would be appreciated.
